We announce a 4 year fixed term appointment as associate professor to take a leading role in fabrication and characterization of quantum photonic devices. Special focus will be on developing new single-photon devices based on the deterministic interfacing of single quantum dots to photonic nanostructures. The ability to work with industrial partners will be an asset.
The position will be part of the experimental quantum photonics group headed by Prof. Peter Lodahl (http://wwww.quantum-photonics.dk) within the Center for Hybrid Quantum Networks (Hy-Q, https://hy-q.nbi.ku.dk).
In the quantum photonics group we specialize in developing photonic nanostructures in order to tailor light-matter interaction. The developed hardware is employed for quantum-information processing applications towards a quantum internet.
The Center for Hybrid Quantum Networks, Hy-Q is a 6 year major research initiative aiming at creating a quantum internet by exploiting quantum dots and opto-mechanical systems. The center is a collaboration between the quantum photonics group and the groups of Prof. Anders S. Sørensen (www.tqo.dk) and Prof. Albert Schliesser (www.nbi.dk/~aschlies/research.html). In total the center employs approximately 50 scientists working on quantum networks.
Applicants are required to have university level teaching experience, documented teaching competencies and must be able to explain and reflect upon own teaching practice and portfolio. Formal pedagogical training or supervision equivalent to the University of Copenhagen teacher training programme for assistant professors is required.
Duties include the applicant’s own research, development of the field, assessment tasks, grant applications, and research management such as supervision and training of research fellows and other staff. The successful applicant must also teach, supervise, prepare and participate in examinations, and fulfill other tasks requested by the Department.
Assessment of applicants will primarily consider their level of documented, original scientific production at an international level, including contributions to developments in their field, as well as their documented teaching qualifications. Managerial and out-reach qualifications of applicants including ability to attract external funding will also be considered.
Inquiries about the position can be made to Prof. Peter Lodahl, lodahl@nbi.dk, phone: (+45)20565303.
The position is open from 1 October 2020 or as soon as possible thereafter.
The University wishes our staff to reflect the diversity of society and thus welcomes applications from all qualified candidates regardless of personal background.
